Guidewire with J tip for central venous catheter placement

Guidewire with J tip for central venous catheter placement
Proper orientation of the J tip towards the superior vena cava helps prevent improper placement of central venous catheters. For subclavian catheters, the J tip is oriented caudally; for internal jugular catheters, the J tip is oriented medially.
UpToDate acknowledges the invaluable assistance of the University of Massacusetts Medical School, Department of Anatomy and Department of Emergency Medicine, including Thomas Ellis, MD and Jean Marcelin, MD, for the photographs of central venous catheter placement.
